(101.5 cm) long One button about 7/8 in. (22 mm) diameter GAUGE: 10 sts + 14 rows = about 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS) with larger needles. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch STITCH EXPLANATION: kfb (knit in front and back) Knit next st without removing it from left needle, then k through back of same st ­ 1 st increased.

During the body motion of swinging arms, a perfect-fit 3D garment can have: (a) large stress when using firm materials – leading to uncomfortable pressure or (b) large sliding when using soft materials – resulting in unwanted wrinkles. Both factors are considered in an integrated way onaknitwear with optimized distribution of elasticity as a 4D garment (c) that minimizes the stress and controls the maximal sliding during body motion. Stresses and displacements are visualized as color maps and black arrows respectively, where the maximal stress is 40.75kPa. Our work enables a computational framework for designing 4D garments and automatically fabricating them on digital knitting machines. A knitwear as 4D garment is physically fabricated byknitting different ‘percentages’ of firm and soft yarns in different regions. We make the regions of different elasticity visible by using firm yarns in light-blueandsoft yarns in white. Sliding trajectories on physical specimens are evaluated by a vision-based method and displayed as black curves. In this paper, we present a new computational pipeline for designing and for a garment by physics-based computation, the optimized elasticity on the fabricating 4D garments as knitwear that considers comfort during body garment is then converted into instructions for a digital knitting machine by movement.

  • Improvisational Knitting Cannot Anticipatewhatwillhappennext
    Improvisational Knitting: A Tutorial My love for color, short rows, and log cabin construction coupled with my fascination with the quilts of Gee’s Bend and Nancy Crow have inspired my improvisational knitting. Curiosity and a sense of humor are the only prerequisites for learning this style of knitting. Once you understand — and are comfortable — with the techniques please abandon my instructions and let your own creativity take over. Working improvisationally is liberating and exhilarating, as you cannot anticipate what will happen next. Improvisational Knitting Improvisational © nonaKnits • All Rights Reserved • nonaknits.typepad.com Improvisational Knitting: Basic Techniques Improvisational knitting is based on several techniques: garter stitch, short rows, log cabin construction, and intarsia. Garter Stitch: Garter stitch creates a proportionally square fabric; a fabric in which the same number of stitches and rows are required to fill an inch. Creating a proportionally square fabric is critical since we will be knitting in all directions. Short Rows: Short rows allow you to turn — often arbitrarily — in the middle of a row and to knit wonky, non-rectangular shapes. Although there are several ways to work a short row, I prefer the YO short row for improvisational knitting since it is quick and easy to work. To work a YO short row: • When you reach a turning point: turn, YO, and begin knitting. The YO is easy to work. After you turn the yarn will be in front, move the yarn to the back OVER the right needle as you begin to knit the next stitch. • At some later point, you’ll encounter the YO and the gap created when you previously turned.
